Can't Open Adobe Captivate 4 File in Captivate 5.5

Hi,
Anything special I should try or be aware of?
Whenever I try to open my 2008 Captivate 4 files in Captivate 5.5, I get the familiar can't-do-that-for-some-reason error message. (The one that suggests the file is already opened, or it was unzipped badly, not enough memory, and so forth.) Since Captivate 5.5 removes the import feature, I can't try that.
So far, I've tried running it with nothing else open on my computer (I have 10 GB of RAM), made sure to empty the cache first, and so forth.
In desperation, I'm also redownloading 4 now and giving that a try, but any other suggestions would be great.

Notes for future searchers... here is how I solved this problem.
Short Answer: Open the file in 4, resave it, and it opened in 5.5.
Long Answer:
I downloaded Adobe Captivate 4. Fortunately, I had my license active and registered here on the Adobe site. Installation of Adobe Captivate 4 on Windows 7 was a bit weird... it asked me to reinstall Flash which I already had installed, it insisted that Adobe Captivate was currently open, and so forth. I let it reinstall Flash and I rebooted, and 4 was good to go. I made sure to install Captivate 4 in a custom location, not wanting to overwrite any resources or other things in the Adobe folder for 5.5. Then I opened the old file. It actually performed some kind of update thing when I did this, which leads me to believe that I was formerly working with a less-than-latest version of 4 or maybe even 3! Once it completed, I saved it as a new Adobe Captivate 4 file. Then I was able to open THAT file with Adobe Captivate 5.5, and save a new file again.
For some reason, fonts didn't carry over. So I reset them in all my captions, and then recompiled successfully.

  • Preview can't open Adobe DNG files converted in snow leopard

    I have been unable under Snow Leopard 10.6 to use either 5.4 or 5.5 adobe dng converter to convert Leica RWL files to DNG files that are readable by Preview or by Aperture. Adobe CS4 can read these DNG files, but then it can read the RWL raw files as well.
    However, on my other mac using Leopard 10.5, the converted DNG files ARE readable by Preview and Aperture. Any thoughts or help?
    thanks

    The DNG converter is not a plug-in.  You need the Camera Raw update.  That may be your point of confusion.
    From this page:  Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    Direct download links for Camera Raw ... for Photoshop CS6:

  • Can't open Adobe Premeir Files after rebuilding computer

    I had problems with my PC, so rebuilt it, and installed Windows 7 (it was XP SP3 beforehand). After installing Adobe Premeir Elements I now cannot open any previoulsy saved Premier Elements files. An error comes up saying 'this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed'. The HDD the files are on was not changed at all.
    Anyone help? I need to compete a project, and do get back to where I was would take ages!
    Many thanks in advance

    An error comes up saying 'this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed'.
    This error usually indicates that a previous CODEC is not currently installed in the new OS. CODEC's are installed at the system-level, so just having your media files, etc., on the HDD's will not help here. This ARTICLE will give you more background, and tips.
    What CODEC is required? That can be found by running the AV files through a utility, like G-SPOT. You need to find that CODEC, download it, and install it.
    Once, Windows OS's included many common CODEC's, with the installation. With Vista, things changed, and especially for the Home editions. One had to go to the MS Web site, and download and install the Vista CODEC pack. Do not know exactly what is/is not included in the Win7 installation, but there should be an MS CODEC pack for Win7, where those were missing. WARNING: I do not recommend any of the "free" CODEC "packs," available, other than the ones from MS. Those often cause real problems, and I avoid them completely. At the very best, they fill up one's system with outdated, never-used CODEC's, that have to load, and usually will overwrite good, commercial CODEC's with hacked, or reverse-engineered versions. At the worst, they install all sorts of "stuff," and to get rid of some of that, one needs to completely wipe the system HDD, reinstall the OS, after a complete format, and then reinstall all software.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - let us know what G-Spot says the CODEC's are, and someone can point you to the one(s), that you need.

    Marc, you might want to post this question in the Basis forum, or ask a moderator to move this thread. You'll most likely get more qualified responses there.
    SAP NetWeaver Application Server
    Also you might want to provide more details as to what kind of document you're trying to open (e.g. in what transaction). And, instead of posting the pictures, just specify the message text and/or message class and number (e.g. V1 100). The error messages are unreadable on your pictures.
    And, better yet, ask your manager to get a qualified Basis admin.

  • Can't open Adobe Captivate 8 trial.

    Can't open Adobe Captivate 8 trial. Error reads: The procedure entry point NormalizeString could not be located in the dynamic library link KERNEL32.dll. I'm into my trial and can't even get into the program.
    Any thoughts or recommendations on how I can get through this and access the program. I've tried to download it a couple of different times and come up with the same error.

    You need to launch Captivate as administrator. On Win this can be done by
    right-clicking on the Captivate shortcut key, and either you choose 'Run as
    Administrator' or you open Advanced dialog where you can set to launch
    always as administrator.

  • I can not open adobe files. mainly ones that end in doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert .doc files

    I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

    Hi,
    Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
    If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
    Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
    Please let me know if that works.
    If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.
